“There Will Be Blood” Even Better the Second Time Around

20 January 2008

If you haven’t seen my pick for the best film of 2007, There Will Be Blood, please hurry up and see it on the big screen while you have the chance. Daniel Day Lewis’s performance is untouchable; and breakout Paul Dano does a commendable job keeping up with Lewis’s intense performance. Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood handled the haunting score, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s interpolation of Upton Sinclair’s 1927 creative nonfiction tome Oil! is riveting.

I’ve seen it twice already. At that price, I could’ve owned the movie on DVD - but honestly, its just that good.
